Manchester City v Manchester United stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Manchester City and Manchester United have both taken 13 points from their last five games, but it's the home side who are the big favourites to extend their unbeaten run this weekend.

In fact, Pep Guardiola's side haven't been beaten since early December - a run stretching 18 matches, and they know another three points on Sunday could be significant in their hunt for a third successive Premier League title.

City ran out comfortable winners the last time the two sides met back in October, where a brace from Erling Haaland and an effort from Phil Foden secured a routine 3-0 triumph at Old Trafford.

Whilst it's United who edge the all-time head-to-head record, City have won five of the last six top-flight encounters, although the Red Devils have taken maximum spoils at the Etihad in recent times, prevailing in this fixture in both the 2019/20 and 2020/21 campaigns.
